10 years old :) 2002 Yamaha YZF-600R

Got a plate from your last bike with good stickers? Not the cleanest way of doing it but.. if the bike is road worthy a quick jaunt to the nearest garage to get the cert done isn't unheard of. Not entirely legal either, but it happens all the time.

I don't know how tall the gearing is, but generally if you shift before you reach redline, you're ok. Same goes for down shifting to bring the rev's into the power band. If the clutch is engaged (out all the way) and your rpm's a few thousand below the redline, you're good to accelerate. The...

I believe it's insisted upon. Surprised no one else has chimed in. But if you know that one address is cheaper, than just switch the license, registration, insurance, everything over to that one, no?

Put some fresh gas in it!! LOL But seriously it looks like you've got your bases covered. Just take it easy and ride "normally" without pushing anything and you'll do fine. They don't fail you for no reason, you have to make several mistakes and look like you don't know what you're doing to fail.

I would switch the license over to the cheaper address ;)

Any performance options out there for that bike? A loud pipe and a jet kit might wake it up a bit, and would definitely improve your road presence. Plenty of people upgrade their horns as well, there are some cool options out there!

Keep your receipt, and understand how a torque wrench works. The CT ones are fine, but don't use a little one for a big job, or vice versa. And it is NOT a good substitute for a breaker bar!! ;)

Not sure if the cops would care, but your insurance company would! Better to have it all up to date than save a few bucks and screw yourself out of a claim when you need it!

There is a possibility of finding a clean one, but sometimes you really have to look for them. From what I read before buying mine, looking at the wagons is a good bet if you want a stock, cleanish example. Younger crowd tend to want the sedans more, so those are the ones that are modified and...

Thanks Dr.M! I believe I will eventually order the chinese replica bodywork, it's only $500 shipped and painted. Then I can decide whether or not i want to repair the Yamaha fairings, they are really thrashed. As for the comfort, that was probably the deciding factor in why i pulled the...

I have an older WRX and I love that little car. It is hard on gas though, compared to the 1.8 turbo VW i used to drive.. but AWD is fun!

Picked this up a couple months ago for $1400. Still in the works, but I'll put plates on it this week and ride it dirty. Looks like hell, the paintjob is really, really, awful. But I can get new plastics for $500, so I'm not too concerned with that right now. Any suggestions on what to do...

That was painful to watch.

If anyone wants to check out a documentary on the Somalian Pirates, find a copy of "The Pirate Tapes", a real eye opener on the subject with plenty of numbers to back up the reasons that this is still happening.

Well, to be fair, Spiider might be on to something. I also see "CPI Aragon" 50cc scooters on the PIT Motors (CCW's Distributing arm) website. http://pitmotorsltd.com/pitl1_108.htm

I swung by Motoretta briefly, there are no CCW bikes in stock until the end of May. They have already pre-sold a couple dozen and there is plenty of interest. There is some confusion as to when tha Ace hits the Canadian market, but tha Heist and tha Misfit should be in stock soon. Tha Ace will...

Hey Shahfaisal! I live in Sudbury, which is en-route to Manitoulin. You've got a great idea, I love the ride out to the Island! The highways up here aren't as nice as the ones you're used to, but you'll be rewarded with amazing scenery, and some lovely winding roads. There are a few websites...

Love it! thanks for posting it up :)
